Il was the livelicst hour Of the day in WASH
ing'on- Just at this time down the avenue
and through this moving throng walked a
straight old man. He was six feet tall, and
as thin Us a DEVILS darning needle, but his
flesh appeared to be as solid as jerked beef
and his step was springy one He wore
a tall silk hat upon his head of frosted silver
and snow white patriarchal beard fell
down upon his chest He looked in front of
him as though proud of his strength through
a pair of brave blue eyes, and his cane
seemed to spurn the asphalt as he trol

ex-mernber of President Folks cabinet, for
more than fifty years the leading historian
of the United States, and now wherever he
goes the observed of all Observers. A whisper
went through the crowd Of ''there is Ban-
croft and not few wondered to see the old
historian taking q walk amid such dangers.
BICYCLES wheeled in and out about him.
Three lines of Heriic cabs met at the station
through which he was marching, and there
seemed to he dangers to the right OF him and
dangers "a the left of him, but on through
this valley of life marched the great Ban
croft. He was in the center of the street,
and he seemed to court notice rather than 10
stun it. The vehicles made way for him and
he rassed on through safely. He seems TO
grow livelier and tougher as he grows older,
and he is in this respect a contrast to Cor
coran, who is now IS, and who never goes
about Washington without his valet.
Corcoran rides about in a close carriage.
He is helped in and out, and a man servant

and his head is big one firmly seated upon
q pair of broad shoulders. Ho sports yellow
kid gloves, often wears a white necktie, and
his over CATERS are of the latest style. He

told that he understands his business as well

A LITTLE SENSATIONAL.

Last month a girl employed to work
on the farm of a man named Geahring, a
resident of Wood county, disappeared
and with her, her employer. Geahring
was found in hiding in the woods and his
brother and his wife were detected in
carrying food and clothing to him. The
girl whose name is Theresa Tuttle was
in a delicate condition at the time of her
disappearance and her employer was
charged with being the guilty one who
had robbed her of her virtue. The three
Geahrings were arrested, charged with
murder though it was only suspected the
girl had been put out of the way.
On Thursday night last, the Corona
reached this place quite late. After the
passengers were transferred and as Mr.
Toombs was working at his desk. a girl
apparently Is years of age, timidly asked
him if he could direct her to a hotel. Her
unprotected condition excited his SYM
pathy and he escorted her to one OF the
hotels. She informed him that she lived
in Wood county and was in search of en-
ployment as a domestic He told her
where position could be had but some
thing IN the appearance of the girl led
him to believe she was enciente. On the
following day she secured the place he
recommended but her condition being
discovered the lady of the house dismiss
ed her. She secured position with
another family and Tuesday Mr.. Toombs
learned through Milwaukee paper of
the Wood county sensation and institut-
ing inquiries, found this was the Theresa
Tuttle who was supposed to be murder
ed by the man who wronged her. Com
munlcatlon was at once opened by tele-
graph with the Wood county anthoritic-

JAMES CARROLL deputy game warden
has been removed. It is possible that
Mr.. Carroll was too diligent in ferretting
out those who violated the game laws
and one or two examples in each locality
would have answered every purpose.
But the matter went beyond his control.
When person was arrested in certain
section he was anxious that others should
be punished as well as he and so made
complaint to the game warden. What
was he to do under the circumstances?
He had no intention to begin with to
make any arrests. When he caution ed
the people against violating the Jaw +bev

GIN proceedings on complaints made.
whats done we often may compute but
never what's resisted There We're some
cases prosecuted by Mr.. Carroll in which
the violation of the law was more techni-
cal than blamable. But there is one
thing certain that while he was in au.
thority the game law would be respect
ed.
There are two sides to every question.
Laws are enacted to be enforced and it is
bad policy to use the efficiency of an Of
ficer as a club to beat out his brains. If
the law is oppressive let it be repealed:
while it remains in force let it be observ-
ed. Every one has the option 70 obey a
law or violate it. In the latter case he
assumes the risk of pIInishment
